We don't have a bug tracker, thus there is nothing to gather statistics
from. We have a web form that is really just a sequence in a database
that generates a bug id, and then remails the whole form to pgsql-bugs.

For discussions of why we don't have one, see about a billion mails in
the archives over the past 10 years or so :-(
The general policy is a 72 hour bug fix, right? Do we have any ideas/numbers as to the currently "open" number of bugs (identified but not fixed yet)? That would be just as useful in some regard.

Also, is the sequence only a sequence, or is some of the data held in the database (queryable?) At the very least, I could probably get an idea of the bug submit rate by looking at the first bug of each month in the bugs archive (or are many of the "bugs" really SPAM)?

thanks
